What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
We tried to prevent nonspecific nuclear staining (NS-NS) of picrosirius red (PSR) staining by treating the specimens with one of the heteropoly acids phosphotungstic acid (PTA). We analyzed a total of 35 cases of non-cancerous liver tissue for fibrosis and NS-NS under PSR-alone, phosphomolybdic acid (PMA)-pretreated PSR (PMA + PSR), or PTA-pretreated PSR (PTA + PSR) condition. In addition, we analyzed the photosensitivity of PMA or PTA single stain specimens. PTA + PSR significantly suppressed NS-NS compared with PSR. The color of the specimens did not change into blue by 30 times the exposure to whole slide scanner (WSS) light. The PTA + PSR condition showed the highest correlation with the Ishak score (pathological evaluation of liver fibrosis) compared with other conditions. Furthermore, Sirius Red-positive percentage (SRP%) in PSR was increased in the NS-NS observed cases. SRP% in PMA + PSR was significantly affected by WSS light exposure time. Moreover, the deposition of non-polarized PSR-stained substances (NP-PSR
